Messi's ambitions remain as strong as ever

The Argentinean wizard, who is consistently compared to Argentina great and the country's current coach Diego Maradona, spent a year to remember with Barcelona.

He helped them win six titles out of six in 2009, won the Ballon d'Or award and was named FIFA's Player of the Year.

"My wish for 2010 is to keep winning titles with Barcelona, the truth is that I never tire, nor do I think I will ever tire of winning," Messi told Spanish paper Sport.

"Personally, there is not much more I can ask of this year. No doubt I want to continue to grow as a footballer, because I am one of those who think that there is always room for improvement.

"I like to find new challenges, although I have to appreciate how spectacular this year has been."
